Automatically Highlighting A Bar Chart
May 23, 2014
I'm currently writing an automatic report to display information about a store and how it compares to its peers. My company works on a National>Region>Area>Store basis so my report lets a user select a store and the excel file brings back all the data for the relevant national, region and area data for comparison. That works fine.
I now want to develop a set of pages which display data for that store compared to other stores in the same area. For example: [URL]
My report brings back all the stores, ranks them by their performance against target and then puts them in a sorted table using vlookups. I then want to put them into the bar chart shown above, with the store selected highlighted with a different colour. In the example above, the Hunslet store is selected so its bar is highlighted.
Is there any way to make the store highlight automatic? I manually set the colours in the example but I don't want the user to have to do that each time. It would be possible to do using a macro, but I try and avoid them where I can since VBA knowledge is extremely limited in my office.
I have named ranges containing the names and lookup codes for the selected store, area and region .

I'm creating an Excel chart, and I have some data that goes from 0-100. I want to show all of the data, but I'd like to have a different format when it goes above 90.

I have been trying to find a way to highlight columns that are filtered in Excel. On a laptop it is not always that easy to tell which columns are filtered. I have found a piece of VBA that can do this (see http://www.vbaexpress.com/kb/getarticle.php?kb_id=365).
I would like to do two things:
1. Have this run whenever an autofilter is changed (a new filter chosen or a current filter changed).
2. Have this effective for every workbook that I open.
I'm hoping that someone can help a VBA newbie sort this out.

I found this spreadsheet on here and I have been trying to customize it to what I need. I am trying to have scores from skins match highlighted. I want only the minimum score to be highlighted but if there is another duplicate minimum score I don't want it to highlight anything. I also need to find a way to count the skins won by each player and have it off to the side.
For those not familiar with golf a Skin is a game where you try to get the lowest amount of strokes on a specific hole. Ex- 4 people play the hole one. P1 scores 4, P2 gets a 3, P3 and P4 get 6. The skin would go to P2 who has the lowest score on that hole.
Highlight lowest number in each column not highlighting if there are duplicates starting at L6 down to L11 and for each column till AC. And the same for the group just to the right on attached file.
On row 13 and 14 it tells me who won a skin. I want to tally up the total skins won by each player. so if Joe's names shows up twice on R14 I want it to tell me somewhere in the sheet Joe = 2

I can automate chart creation in VBA, but is there any way to also have it such that the x-axis of the chart begins with the minimum x-value and ends with the maximum x-value in the data set?

I have a workbook, with 2 sheets. first page has graphs, second has data. in my charts I refer to a named range on the second one as follows: Data!Named_Range, where "Data" is the name of the second sheet. However when i save this, it changes the range of the chart to: '101044.xlsm'!Named_Range, where 101044 is the name of the workbook. This is a problem for me as this workbook will often be loaded into a document handling system where the file will change name, throwing out all sorts of errors because the chart path is invalid, and i have to change the range of all the charts manually. why does it have to use the file name when reffering inside the same workbook? and how do i force this to not change?

I currently need to create around 1200 chart images using excel for a report series I am performing for a client. I have been trying all kinds of different things, all failures, to automate this process. My current method is to filter a pivot table on the building I am analyzing, copying the chart, pasting it as a picture in Ms Word, then saving that image as a Picture. Obviously, this process is quite lengthy, especially if I multiply that over the course of all 1200 images.
I am looking for a solution using a macro, vba, or a combination of things to automate this process and maybe even create the jpgs automatically?

I'm currently building a excel workbook with charts that are feeding from Countif formulas, from a incident reporting sheet, now some of these items have "0" values and as a result are piling up making the charts look unsightly.
I know if I hide the rows with that data in them, it won't show up on the chart, the only problem is that this workbook will be going to about 8 countries, so I want this to be automated, is there any way for those 0 values to be excluded.
I have no experience with VBA, and only a little with macros

to write a code that would create a chart automatically in another worksheet when a button is clicked.
I have attached the sample data that I am working on.
Each row in the sheet represent 3 coordinates, which are:
coordinate # 1 = start, 0
coordinate # 2 = centre, level
coordinate # 3 = end, 0

I have 3 charts on 3 seperate worksheets. The data for each is sourced from a list of up to 100 but only the top 20, or all if less than 20 in full list, are displayed on the chart. A seperate worksheet ("Calcs") is used to sort all the data so that just the top 20 are sourced for the charts and they are displayed in descending order from max to min and alphabetically in the case of 2 or more names having the same value.
I have attached one ot the charts.
I need the y axis scale to auto-adjust to suit the max and min series 1 values. I need the y axis maximum to be 5 more than the max series 1 value (unless the value is 5 or less when axis should be 10) and the min y axis to be 3 less than the min series 1 value (unless the value is 3 or less when the axis should be 0)
I have done the formulae to sort out these conditions and put the required y axis values in a cell which the copies across to the chart sheet with the required max in cell M1 and the min in cell L1. These values will change when another macro runs.
I searched this site for the code to auto-adjust the scales and found one which I have tried to edit to suit my needs. This is the code I have ended up with, placed within the worksheet containing the chart....

I have a macro that extracts data from a source workbook. The data is owerwritten every time that I use the macro. Now I have a graph that everytime I use the macro does not update with the new data, Is there a clever way to do that? The code for extracting from the workbook is the following:
Sub Extract()
Dim myFileName As Variant
Dim SourceWkbk As Workbook
Dim CurrentWkbk As Workbook
Dim testWks As Worksheet
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("CURRENCIES").Select
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Delete
myFileName = Application. GetOpenFilename("Excel files,*.xls")
If myFileName = False Then
Exit Sub 'user hit cancel
End If................

The trend Equation on a chart is of the form y= a+x.(b+c.x) I want to use that equation in a spreadsheet to calculate value of y for the value of x. I can do it manually by inserting the a+x.(b+c.x) in a cell but would like it to be automatic as the a, b, c in the Equation changes regularly as more data is acquired.

See attached file. I have managed to work out how to update a chart automatically when a new row of data is added. However is it possible to tweak the formulas I am currently using so that it will only include 12 months previous.
For example if you add Jan in to row 26 the chart will show Feb-Jan data (Row 15-26).

I have been trying to think of a way to get a hierarchy chart automatically with given data through macros
In the attached excel sheet
Org. Charts (hierarchy) question.xlsm
Would it be possible to get the chart to do by itself if say I were to add items or remove items? Is there any way to do it for data automatically?
I extract the data from primavera as attached and I want to make the chart in excel automatically.

I have created a pseudo Gantt chart in Excel (a horizontal stacked bar chart). The chart is driven off data I have in a Power Pivot model (Auto Refreshed) and the Gantt chart displays data which spans a fixed 12 hour time frame.
The problem I am having is that in order for me to get the chart to display correctly I must manually (daily) get the excel decimal values for my Minimum DateTime and Maximum DateTime and then enter those numbers into the "AXIS Options" Bounds Minimum and Maximum value fields. I would like to automate that process so that the Axis Bounds are either driven from the data cells OR are always set to a specific 12 hour window 6pm->6am daily.

I have attached a copy of the chart and data. My chart starts on the bottom. I had to take out a lot of data but beneath the data shown is much more data..
I want my chart to automatically update when new data is added. Here are the issues. I have several lines of headers and below that my data. Then below my data I have other data that I don't want displayed in the chart (its not shown here because of size limitation of attachmnet).
The new row will be added each time right below the header, right above the
most recent data given. So a row will be added above row 8!

I have a pie chart on a pre-defined table with 15 categories where the data will populate over time (presently only 3 are populated) in descending order. As some categories will be blank/zero for a while, I'm trying to find a way to avoid showing the blanks/zeros on the pie chart. As I am trying to display the legend on the pie chart segment, any zeros cause the remaining labels to appear grouped together and rather messy. I would therefore like to hide the zero data from the pie chart so the labels do not appear, or to automatically extend the range to only include all non-zero values.
I found the following formula which, when used as a named range, automatically extends a list for data validation:
[Code] ....
I don't know whether there's a similar formula or whether a few lines of VBA are required to run whenever the chart or data worksheet are selected..?

Is there a way to make a chart adjust automatically when you add to the source data? I'm trying to use a named range in order to power a chart (something like chart_data=offset(a1,,, counta(a:a),counta(1:1)); the range is working fine). When I put "chart_data" into the source field for the chart, it seems to work fine; it picks up the right range... But when I later add more data, the chart source data field seems to have converted my named range into a hard-coded range, absolute range. So the dynamical named range updates, but the chart doesn't and I don't see the new data. Am I doing something wrong that I need to tweak? Does what I'm trying to do just not work? Is there another way to make the chart pick up the new data without adjusting the range?

I am building this waterfall chart. I'd like to put conditional color formatting to change the vertical bar automatically e.g. if it is positive, the bar color is green and if it is negative the bar color is red.

I have a column "A" with a cell for each week's income (A-1 thru A-52).
Is there a way to program these 52 cells so that the cells reflecting the "maximum" and the "minimum" amounts of weekly income, would be automatically highlighted in some way? Of course the "minimum" would have to be able to not use the cells representing the weeks that have not occurred yet. These cells will also need to be able to change automatically as weekly income amounts change.

I've a large spreadsheet packed full of values, and % variences etc etc
My boss has tasked me to try and highlight each week the major changes from the week before.
The whole spreadsheet is full of vlookups based on a cell - Z3 in this case. Cell Z3 is a week number, and when i change that, everything is updated based on a load of other sheets.
Is there a quick and easy cheatuing way using some code that i can analyse all the changes from what the values were before, to what they are now, and highlight the major movers?

I have created a data base of all the spare parts we have at work.
In the last column I have entered a hyperlinks that take you to a layout of the store and shows you where the part is located i.e. – 1C would take you to shelf ‘1’ level ‘C’ on the drawing in another tab in the same Excel workbook.
I would be pleased if anyone could help me by suggesting away that I can make the destination cell highlighted or more prominent once you have clicked on the link.
Also can I make the Find window automatically appear when the workbook is first opened?

I have a worksheet, the data flows from different columns, like a,b,c and the result is in d column. The entries are spread from 1 to 45 rows. The format of data is five digit number. As I have formatted the cells as "custom" like "00000", the Zero is shown on left side, but when the column is copied/pasted in another column in certain entries zero disappears. Is there any way to get the 4 digit entries, highlighted, so Zero can be added on left side manually directly to the concerned entries, instead of checking each and every entry.

This problem has been driving me insane, as I thought it wasn't possible to do in excel however this morning I accidentally pressed a shortcut key on my keyboard and what I wanted, happened.. pity I can't remember how I did it.
How do I highlight an entire row, but remains highlighted when i enter info in the cells until i move down to the next cell? Eg. I click on row"1" so that all cells are highlighted, then while entering info in B:1 - the entire row is still highlighted? This will be very useful in my line of work.
I know there was some information on conditioning formatting, but surely there is a way to do it via keyboard shortcut since i accidentally did it just before.

I have the following code:
[Code]....
Which is conducting a wildcard search of roughly 15,000 rows of data. It is a wildcard search comprised of street names. So, if a user types "Wood" in ComboBox1, it may return Woodmont, Northwood, or any other combination. Is there a way, when the search results are populated, to highlight only the "wood" (in this case) part of the response?

I can not figure out why only the color index 5 and 8 are working in the example- (1). To tun it say "no" to the initial prompt that comes up and select 1 from the dropdown in A2. Before some additional functionality was added it was called TestBook and that highlighted appropriately.

I have attached a sample sheet which is for invigilation of exams. In columns D, E & F are the initials of people invigilating at different times. What I want to able to do is to print personised sheets for each person where there initals are in bold and the box has a black border around it. This is very labour intensive if I do it manually as have to highlight one person, print, unhighlight and rehighlight the next person and so on. What I was wondering is could I use a macro to automate this process. So it has a list of all the initals and it searches through and highlights the person and prints it and then moves onto the next.
